[SOLVED] Zone Alarm toolbar issue

Hello All,
I'm new here and also new to the ZoneAlarm software.
My problem is the site checker on the toolbar is not working - it was yesterday - I hope this is just me not knowing what I'm doing (smile).
Can someone tell me how to fix it - or have I been hacked (yikes)

Re: Zone Alarm toolbar issue

Thanks for the reply Guru,
I did make sure that everything was checked.
Malwarbytes had found a trojan downloader (Java) and quarentined it - this is when I decided to try Zonealarm. It worked fine yesterday - but this morning I notice the site button wasn't working - I uninstalled zonealarm and then reinstalled it - to know avail. I'm not having any issue with interent connectivity - just the site button - which makes me worry if my browswer has been takin over or something?
I'm not overly computer savy - so to speak (smile). I looked in my programs and the lastest Java program is there - should I remove it and reinstall a fresh copy?
Thanks for your Help,
Tammy

Re: Zone Alarm toolbar issue

Thanks Fax,
As far as malware protection - the virus I got killed my Avast - So I'm running Avira and I also have Malwarebytes, Spywareblaster and SUPERAntiSpyware - Which Malwarebytes and Spywareblaster were on my computer when I got the virus. I only had windows firewall on my computer and had heard lots of good things about ZoneAlarm - so I thought I would try that too!
Not sure what I'm going to do now - I tried a system restore and it wouldn't restore - so I'm assuming I must still have a virus!

Re: Zone Alarm toolbar issue

I agree with the Advise by Guru Fax,

and add my two cents worth..

it looks like you have tried to load all kinds of Security programs onto your computer..

The Golden Rule in Computer Security is " Too much of a Good thing can be BAD for your computer" When you Install Competing Security Software, they may Block each other, compteting for Resouces.. and Result in Reduced or No Protection at all..

Just One, Not Two -- Never use two software Firewalls at the same time. Completely uninstall one before installing another. Use the vendor's uninstall utility or if not available, use the Windows add/remove software tool in the control panel.
ZONE ALARM Automaticly Turns Off Windows Firewall when installed------------------------------------------------------

Just One, Not Two -- Never use two anti-virus products at the same time. Completely uninstall one before installing another. Use the vendor's uninstall utility or if not available, use the Windows XP add/remove software tool in the control panel.

Re: Zone Alarm toolbar issue

Hi Georgev,
Please Tell me more about this? I have Avira for my acutal virus software and for my malware - I have SuperAntispyware - but I have Malewarebytes that has realtime for the malware too! I'm only running ZoneAlarm for my firewall! So please tell me more?
I paid for ZoneAlarn field force tonight and it will not install on my computer - do you have any suggestions for that???
Any help would truly be appreciated!
